The purpose of this scholarship is to pay forward Blessings our family, the McDaniel's, have benefited from on our journey thru life. Seeds were planted in us and we are now reaping the harvest.  From that bounty, we wish to sow into another young adult's life so their future may be changed.  As a family, our goal is to live a life of service to others we encounter and enrich their lives.

The winner will be selected on the documentation and recommendations submitted.  The winner will be honored in Spring 2023.
